Summary0007876: Dwarves do not go around constructed walls that were built in their path
DescriptionNot sure how to explain this one, so here is a visual.

|o+++o|
|o+++o|
|☻+++o| <- The dwarf is trying to construct x
|o+++o| <- This wall was built in front of him a few seconds ago
|x+++o|

In a long hallway I am building walls next to natural walls.
The slowest of my dwarves often get stuck in this situation and he does not think to redo his path after the wall is built in his way.
Steps To ReproduceMake a long tunnel and line the cave walls with constructed walls.
Have several dwarves build the walls.
If one of the dwarves building is much slower than the others, it is more likely to happen.
Additional InformationCan provide save if needed.
Suspending and unsuspending the wall fixes it.
TagsNo tags attached.

Are you sure you're running 0.40.06? This sounds like 0006842, which was fixed in that release.

Yup, its 0.40.06.
Newly generated world, no old saves.

Right away you'll see the engraver trying to path past a wall.
It should also start happening as the dwarves construct the walls.
